FAQ : IRIS CARBON® ESEF Reporting Software

What is ESEF reporting?

ESEF (European Single Electronic Format) is a mandatory digital format for annual financial reports of companies listed on EU-regulated markets. It ensures reports are both human-readable (XHTML) and machine-readable (iXBRL), improving transparency and comparability across companies.

Who needs to comply with ESEF reporting?

All companies with securities listed on EU or UK regulated markets must prepare their annual financial reports in ESEF format. This includes consolidated IFRS financial statements tagged using the ESEF taxonomy.

What is iXBRL in ESEF reporting?

iXBRL (Inline XBRL) is a format that embeds XBRL tags into XHTML documents. It allows financial data to be readable by both humans and machines, enabling automated analysis and regulatory compliance.

Why was ESEF introduced by ESMA?

ESEF was introduced by ESMA to standardize financial reporting across the EU, making it easier for investors and regulators to analyze and compare financial data.

What is the ESEF taxonomy?

The ESEF taxonomy is based on the IFRS taxonomy and defines the tags used in iXBRL reports. It ensures consistency and standardization in financial data reporting.

ESEF reporting software helps companies create, tag, validate, and submit annual financial reports in compliance with ESEF standards. It automates iXBRL tagging and ensures accuracy.

How are ESEF reports validated?

Reports are validated using the ESEF Conformance Suite or software platforms that check for taxonomy compliance, tagging accuracy, and formatting errors.

What is the role of ESMA in ESEF?

ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) developed the ESEF standards, taxonomy, and reporting manual. It oversees compliance and updates the taxonomy annually.
